It’s Nice That host a monthly evening of talks in London’s Soho, curated every month by a selected practitioner. The format is very simple, the creative that we invite to come and host the evening also brings two other speakers with them, who can be relevant to their own work, or totally unrelated. The only criteria is that they think our audience will enjoy listening to them speak.

The talks happen on the third Thursday of every month, with a new talk added every subsequent week for the rest of the month. They take place in front of a very intimate audience of about 35 people, but are then broadcast worldwide via our podcast (available through iTunes) and also available to view as posts here via Vimeo.

Are we entering a new era of austerity for the arts? On the panel is Peter Florence, director of the Hay festival; Gill Bloomfield, of Arts and Business (formerly the Association for Business Sponsorship of the Arts); Sue Hoyle, director of the Clore Leadership Programme; and Professor Shearer West, of the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Chaired by Julie Smith of the Centre of International Studies
